A day of podcast’s and peace and quiet ! Last scratch up before chucking some grass seed on when it warms up, just to concrete to move to the crush pile and some stone footpaths to put in and that’ll be one side of the house finished 🤣

Done that before this episode!! It is due a service and will treat it to to a new pane and a few mirrors!!

I find in some machines that the lower glass gets in the way when using the pedals and then just end up filthy from boots touching them So on a new machine on hire I took the glass out and put it in the site office. We where the only people on site. The developer comes in of a Saturday and threw it out. Luckily I found it unscathed and refitted it before the machine got collected

Still putting others work right. Whoever did this 1 drilled 2 stop ends to let ground water in and also ran a land drain in, the chamber runs to the sceptic system!

Bw08, generic Chinese special. It's been OK for the money, does what I need but I don't think I'd recommend them😅
I'd have been better off buying a loader tractor to be honest but it wasn't really an option at the time.
But it does what I need, keeps the place tidy and means I can lift heavy stuff off the trailer👍👍
In an ideal world I'd have a Flat cconcrete yard with a forklift and a backhoe loader for the field/loose material, but it's not an ideal world😅😅👍
Fair play to it, backed this trailer out of the field like it wasn't there👍👍 I really shouldn't have been trying to use this tip with the ranger today, nearly cost me very dearly- trailer strap box came within an inch of the truck- and no one to blame but myself.

Reversing camera on the loader irritated a pet hate of mine though- wired into reverse on the shuttle, so the moment you put it in neutral you loose sight of the trailer hitch, not what you want when you're edging forward to line up the trailer hitch. I always wire cameras into the side lights if I fit them myself, that way you can use them for things like checking loads on the trailer as you're driving🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
